A young boy's been found wandering the streets in North Tyneside after he was beaten and burned, possibly at a house party.

The 16-year-old boy was found with injuries walking near to the A189 Annitsford roundabout yesterday morning.

He was taken to hospital where he received treatment for a fractured cheekbone, facial injures and burns on his body.
